The podcast returns for the 2021/22 season! On this week's episode we provided our thoughts on the starts made by every single Midlands-based club in the Premier League and EFL.
The last few months have been very hectic for Aston Villa as they have brought in the likes of Emi Buendia, Leon Bailey and Danny Ings, but have lost star man Jack Grealish to Manchester City for a record-breaking £100 million. On Saturday, Dean Smith's side did not start the new campaign in ideal fashion, losing 3-2 to newly-promoted Watford at Vicarage Road.
In League One, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink's Burton Albion have been really impressive so far, picking up wins against potential promotion contenders Ipswich Town and Sunderland. With three games played, the Brewers sit in second place with a 100% record.
Mansfield Town have also started the season strongly in League Two, with two wins and a draw to their name after the first three matches. Like Burton, the Stags find themselves in an automatic promotion spot at this early stage.
